Information Dana Q. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know that your dog gets along with other dogs. I have doggie gates, crates, and doggie play pens if need be. They will have the roam of the house day or night. There is lots of places for sleeping, doggie beds, under the bed or on the bed.! They can find their favorite spot.

A typical day

We have a nice country road in the back of the house with no traffic to take a walk on, and playing and sunning yourself in the fenced back yard with lots of room.

Pet care experience

I am a responsible, able bodied, retired senior that has been taking care of dogs and pets for many years! Very loving and knowledgeable about animals! I recently moved here, after 39 years living in Hawaii, to live in a duplex next door to my sister who, works 40 hours a week and has a 14 lb Chihuahua and a 15 mixed something else??🤷‍♀️ My dog is a sweet 4 lb Chihuahua!! Everybody gets along fine and would welcome another 15lb or under friend to hang out with. We have a doggie door so they can go outside any time to take care of business or bark at the FedEx man whenever he makes a delivery, or anything else that goes on in the neighborhood that they are keeping track of! If you cannot come over and play here with us, then I will happily come to you!! Just contact me on. Rover.com and let me know what your needs are and we can work something out!

Dana was a great communicator and took good care of our cat while we were away on an extended vacation. Our cat can be particular and not the easiest, and she handled it with ease. Highly recommend!

We appreciated Dana’s updates on our little Charlotte! Our dog loves following people around and being on their lap, and it looks like she was right at home with Dana. Also, I somehow left her food at home when we were all headed out of the house for our trip. I really appreciated Dana’s calm personality. Dana was able to resolve the problem and everything worked out great!

Dana was so good to Reuben and Bebo! The house is super cozy and set up with all the things a doggo might need when on “vacay,” and they came home looking so happy and relaxed! I think they might want to go back lol!
